[QUOTE="cdschoonie, post: 3604109, member: 43126"] These are the answers I’d hoped for, not only because I felt I was on the right track, but I’ve yet to find any less than the .008 I mentioned. I’ll continue to measure each case in the prep stage, if they are over the max, I’ll trim them, otherwise if they are close or slightly below I won’t worry too much about them. To this point, I’ve actually trimmed everything that was over the middle point of the min-max range, example on these with a 1.275-1.285 range, if they were 1.280 and up, I trimmed them. My Lee trimmer is pretty accurate, usually +/- .002 out the desired length. Anyway, this will save me a lot of knuckle busting in the trim stage. I’m cheap, so I use the Lee drill-chucked case holder, with the wood ball-handled cutter. Get a tight one in there and quicker than I can blink, the case will pop out and I shove my knuckle into the drill head, don’t know if I can take much more of that lol. That’s the type pain that goes straight to your gut, makes you want to puke! [/QUOTE]
